I can not tell you how many times in a day I get asked that question. And the answer is NO! It still blows our mind that we have a little girl. I get to put matching bows in her hair. I get to dress her up in dresses, granted I still think I don't have enough of them, I get to say "I have 3 sons and a DAUGHTER!"
For the short time I knew I was pregnant (think about it...it was only 5 months after loosing the first 3 months and her 4 week early arrival), I was preparing myself for another little boy. Not until Thanksgiving of 08 did I finally accept everything and thank God for the healthy life growing inside of me. I began preparing for his arrival, fought with my husband for months on a name for a little boy (perhaps this is why we didn't have a name??) and was excited about having another little baby in our home.
The funny part is that when I came home and had to put away all the little boy things, part of me wondered what happened to that little boy I had prepared for. I've been told I shouldn't look at it that way...that it was just a mistake in technology, but I really think it was all part of God's plan for me to fall in love with a little boy growing inside of me and to appreciate the life He was giving me. Then Feb. 2, 2009 God blesses us with the incredible surprise of our daughter. I still will sit in the quite moments of the day when I rock her and just think to myself "Do I really have a girl?" I DO!!!!! and we couldn't be more in love.
